In line with the vision for Pasir Ris to be a "resort town by the sea", a Build-To-Order (BTO) project will incorporate coastal elements and a street will get a river-themed makeover.
These themes, inspired by the town's history as a popular seaside destination, were set out in a design guide that outlines a town's overall planning vision and distinct theme.
The design guides for 13 out of 24 Housing Board towns have been completed since such guides were introduced in 2018, HDB said on Sept 7. These towns include Ang Mo Kio, Bukit Merah, Pasir Ris, Punggol, Tengah and Woodlands.
The design guide for Pasir Ris was completed in 2020 and updated in 2024.
These guides help to guide new developments within a town, as well as upgrading and rejuvenation efforts for existing spaces and common areas, said HDB's chief town planner, Dr Chong Fook Loong.
"The guide ensures consistency in design across the town's life cycle and helps to retain the place identity and distinct characteristics of our HDB towns," he added.
